My 55 Dodge started right up in 6 degree below zero weather with 2 feet of snow on top. It had 6 volt system and a Super Red Ram Hemi. I got 3 1/2 weeks to a 20 gallon tank of gas. Very good mileage. 2 barrel carburetor. Keep your Chrysler !
What a beautiful and special old Chrysler! Please give us some back story about the man that put that car away so many years ago. Also , was the building once a dealership or Mopar parts distributorship? Share all that you found out.

WOW! Just finished reading the INCREDIBLE story! I am blown away! All things happen for a reason... This is a documented case of it! Life is good! Hope I'll connect with the second part of the story. Thanks!@@kip596259
Interesting that my 5.7 is 347 ci, but sounds like a beast in comparison. I wonder how hard it would be to transplant one into this car? Would certainly anger some collectors, but it'd be nice to drive
Well the car sat forever so you can’t compare it in this state but trust me he’s gonna leave the original engine in because it is a beast, this old hemi can make 450hp with just a few mods it just needs to be rebuilt after sitting for so long also it’s one of the most beautiful MOPAR engines Chrysler painted them gold look one up in perfect condition, these engines are a work of art

That engine (354 Hemi) is like listening to classical music !!
354...sounds sweet. Reminds me of hearing the dual quad 341 hemi in the DeSoto Adventurer I restored start up the first time
